A good reputation and comments around the web (I researched quite a bit)

They do have a limit on traffic – 100,000/month in my case – but I should be well below that unless I see a huge spike in traffic, which will be a good problem to have. So I’m not really worried there.

Additionally, SiteGround has a good affiliate program, which I signed up for. (You can sign up for SiteGround hosting through my affiliate link here: SiteGround website hosting.)

When my two-year contract with SiteGround expires, the renewal price will be $29.95/month. That is quite high, but I figure in two years I can evaluate and if it’s worth it for me to stay, and I’ve had a good experience with SiteGround, I’ll stay. If not, I’ll switch hosting providers. So I’ve got two years until I need to decide that.
